NAME
      mountd - NFS mount request server

SYNOPSIS
      mountd [ -n ]

DESCRIPTION
      mountd is an RPC server that answers file system mount requests.  It
      reads the file /etc/dfs/sharetab, described in sharetab(4), to determine
      which file systems are available for mounting by which machines.  It also
      provides information as to what file systems are mounted by which
      clients.  This information can be printed using the dfmounts(1M) command.

      The mountd daemon is automatically invoked in run level 3.

      With the -n option, mountd does not check that the clients are root
      users.  Though this option makes things slightly less secure, it does
      allow older versions (pre-3.0) of client NFS to work.

FILES
      /etc/dfs/sharetab
